3 3 SeaPile and SeaTimber are advanced composite plastics with superior properties to timber, steel and concrete for many marine structures and applications. They can withstand heavy impacts by absorption of energy through recoverable deflection. SeaPile and SeaTimber never rot, corrode or decay. They are impervious to marine borers, yet are totally non-polluting. Manufactured from a recycled plastic matrix with unique glass fibre reinforcement bars, the stiffness of SeaPile and SeaTimber can be varied and controlled to suit each project. This makes the material the ideal choice for fenders, to build marine structures, and for coastal protection without damaging the environment. FEATURES Low life cycle cost Will not rot, corrode or decay Unaffected by marine borers Choice of modulus to suit different applications Can be pile driven, sawn and drilled Low friction coefficient Ultra low maintenance Custom colors available Unlimited lengths* SeaTimber Durable low friction skin 100% recycled plastic matrix APPLICATIONS Fender piles and systems Structural piles Bridge protection Guidewalls and locks Corner fenders Dolphins Navigation markers Walings and bullrails *subject to transport restrictions SeaPile Fiberglass reinforcements

5 5 Lifecycle cost Relative Costs Wooden structures Break-even in 6 years SeaPile Years SeaPile and SeaTimber cost far less during the lifetime of a structure because they need little of any maintenance. Real comparisons with timber structures show the break-even point is just six years, sometimes far less. Load SeaTimber FG reinforced SeaTimber unreinforced Based on mm test sections SeaPile and SeaTimber can resist greater loads and deflections than wood, concrete, and steel. When tested to ultimate load, SeaPile and SeaTimber absorb 15 times the energy of Southern Yellow Pine. In practical terms, this means less damage, maintenance, and downtime, leading to a lower lifecycle cost. Southern Yellow Pine

7 7 Applications The SeaPile can generally be used in the same applications as traditional timber piling. Examples include: Dolphins Fender piling Light structural piling Wale Dock Chock 3-pile cluster 7-pile cluster 19-pile cluster Pile Dolphins, or groups of piles, are placed near piers and wharves to guide vessels into their moorings, to fend them away from structures, or to serve as mooring points. Compared with timber, considerably fewer SeaPiles are needed to absorb the same impact energy. Piles are used extensively as vertical fenders set out in front of a marine structure. During the berthing of a ship, fender piles act as a buffer to absorb and dissipate the impact energy of the ship. They also provide a barrier to prevent vessels from going underneath the pier. Piles are used to support the loads of light-duty piers and wharves. Structural piling generally uses bracing between piles to increase the strength and stiffness of the foundation for the structure. Navigational aids Bridge pier protection Piles and dolphins are widely used to create protective structures for bridge piers, and to guide vessels into the channel and away from bridge supports. 3-pile clusters are used in impact zones, single piles in less vulnerable areas. Bridge Pier Bridge Pier Single piles are dolphins are used to support lights, day beacons, fog signals, and radar beacons. Centerline of channel Bridge Pier Bridge Pier Centerline of bridge

9 9 SEACAMEL Floating camels are used in many military and commercial ports to maintain standoff between the vessel and pier face. They also transmit forces over a greater length of structure to avoid concentrated loads. SeaCamels are constructed from SeaPile, or SeaTimber engineered plastics, which combine high strength with positive buoyancy and will not crush, split, corrode, or decay. SeaCamels are available in many configurations, either pre-assembled or in kit form. They can be fitted with access decks and face fenders as well as a variety of mooring options. hawse pipe SeaPile (up to 400mm diameter) mooring chain anchor weight
